$49.00 | | Strengths: | Good quality construction with good materials. | | Weaknesses: | The liner is cheaply made. | | Similar Products Used: | Fox Mid-ranger, Fox Epic, Hoss Ponderosa | | Bike Setup: | Ironhorse warrior 5.0, fox float 32 RLC, X.9 trany and shifters, Panaracer tires, avid juicy 7 brakes, shimano XT pedals and cassette, Raceface cranks | | Bottom Line: | Either spend more to get the Epic or less to get the Pondersoa or the Mid-ranger. These are not worth the money, unless you rip out the chamois. It feels like cardboard. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$80.00 | | Purchased At: | competativesports.com | | Strengths: | The fit, the zippered and the snap front. | | Weaknesses: | Padding | | Bottom Line: | I like the looks and fit of the shorts. The snap front and the zipper are really nice. The adjustable velcro srtaps are real useful for adjusting the fit. However the padding is way to much. It's like riding with about 3 big kotex pads between your legs and really gauld the crotch area. I had my wife rip out about 1/2 of the padding. They are still not what I would like but they're excepable. My suggestion is that you save your money on these over priced over stuffed shorts and get something less expensive with less padding. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$60.00 | | Purchased At: | REI | | Strengths: | Soft, zip vents, and stash pocket on back of waist. | | Weaknesses: | Chamois is the best. | | Similar Products Used: | Fox Epic Shorts | | Bike Setup: | Salsa Moto Rapido, Fox F80RLT fork, X-9, Race Face Deus Cranks, Easton EC90 Riser bars, Thomson Stem & Post | | Bottom Line: | They didn't hold up nearly as long as I thought they would. The chamois starting tearing from liner quickly with much less use than my Epic had. Because of the attached liner it's hard to get a good fit. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more and get yourself the Fox Epic shorts.
But they are still better than most mountain shorts you'll find out there. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$75.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Awesome styling, very comfortable, breathability, durability | | Weaknesses: | small outside pocket would be nice | | Similar Products Used: | too many to list | | Bike Setup: | '03 Enduro | | Bottom Line: | I've tried lot of different shorts and these fit me the best out of all of them. Everyone is built a little different and so the same short isn't going to work for everyone. My legs are big and so I needed something that wasn't going to cut my circulation off, which is a problem I find with alot of shorts. The spandex liners in alot of them are to small for me, but these fit perfect. Actually most of the Fox line of shorts fit awesome. They also handle crashes pretty well. I would recommend these shorts to anyone as long as they fit. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$40.00 | | Purchased At: | Pricepoint.com | | Strengths: | Fit, Looks, Design | | Weaknesses: | Stitching is sub-par | | Similar Products Used: | Azonic | | Bike Setup: | Schwinn Rocket 88 Disc, Fox Float, Manitou SX-R, XT, Rhyno lites, Avid mechanical disc brakes, Flak Jackets, Easton Monkeylite XC riser bars, Yeti grips, Easton EC70 carbon post, Easton EA50 stem, RaceFace cranks, Michelin Tires, Egg Beaters | | Bottom Line: | Good Fit (not too baggy), I like the liner, They grip the seat very well. I'm not sure about the chamois (My butt hurts more with it than with liner-less shorts. These shorts look great! The only down fall is the stitching, These shorts are about to rip apart after only 5 rides (and yes, I bought the right size). Something with a m.s.r.p. of $79 should be put together a litle better. I got these for half of that and because of this I think that they are a wise purchase (I'm taking them to a seemstress to have some heavy-duty stitching put in them. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$40.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson USA | | Strengths: | These shorts are durable, comftorable, and lets not forget feature the Fox name. | | Weaknesses: | The spandex liner is a bit loose on me. The leg openings are also a bit tight, but for XC use is okay. | | Similar Products Used: | Other baggy shorts with spandex liner such as Fox's race demo's and mid ranger, and Pearl Izumi Voltana's | | Bike Setup: | 2003 Trek fuel 98 with many upgrades | | Bottom Line: | Overall, this is a very good short for XC use. I would not recommend them for downhill or freeride. I do not think they are worth the full retail value, but since i got a good deal on them since they are the 2002's, they are a sweet deal. I recently got the 2003's and will write a review on them when i ride with them more. If you see them for around this price, they are definitely worth it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$65.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo | | Strengths: | greatest, most comfortable mountain biking short i have ever owned, they fit like a glove but provide ample room for absolute comfortability. i am a freak about shorts and clothing for that matter, i need ball-sack adjustment room and i hate suffocating my privates, and these shorts provide all that. these shorts feel like they are custom made for my phat ass, with flexy material in all the right places so as to not snag on your legs and feel all tight. it's really hard to describe perfection. | | Weaknesses: | none whatsoever, maybe with the exception of only three available colors, who cares black rules anyways | | Similar Products Used: | crappy other brands, that just don't compare | | Bottom Line: | greatest shorts i have ever owned, worth every expensive penny it took to own these. you will get your money's worth seriously. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
